Cessative aspect

The cessative aspect or terminative aspect is a grammatical aspect referring to the end of an action or a state. It is the opposite of the inchoative aspect and conveys the idea "to finish doing something".

In Yaqui, the cessative is formed with the suffix -yaáte. For example:

ču'ú

dog

'íntok

and

čái-yaáte-k

yell-stop-PFV
